Gun Brads and Nails

$48.11

Professional-grade brad and finish nails engineered for precision woodworking, second-fix carpentry, and fine cabinet joinery.

Manufactured from bright steel or electro-galvanised wire, these fasteners feature a chisel-point tip that displaces timber fibres rather than cutting them, significantly reducing splitting in hardwoods and engineered boards. Available in 18 gauge (1.25mm), 16 gauge (1.6mm), and 15 gauge (1.75mm) diameters across straight (0°) and angled (34°) collation formats, the range covers the full spectrum from delicate decorative beading through to structural skirting and door jamb installation. The small T-head and DA-head profiles sit flush or below the surface for a clean, paintable finish.

Best For

Suited to cabinet makers, joiners, and finish carpenters requiring consistent, low-profile fastening across hardwood, MDF, and engineered timber substrates. The 18G range handles fine decorative work — beading, picture frames, and millwork — while the 16G and 15G options carry the load for architraves, window reveals, skirting boards, and cladding. Select gauge and collation angle based on nailer compatibility and access constraints on site.
